A good question, and one that I have thought about often without coming up with any answers. Spy technology has improved so much over the past few years that our expectations of privacy must of necessity be rethought. Traditionally, anything that can be seen from the street has been fair game, but today we have heat seeking and xray trucks roaming the streets, drones flying overhead, cameras on the streets and many of us carry a GPS with us, which can be used to track our whereabouts. Aside from these invasions of privacy, we seem to be willing to give up even more by using the internet, and more particularly the social sites, who acknowledge that a major source of revenue is the selling of information. The Bush administration advocated key word searches of all internet and phone transmissions in the interest of catching terrorists. Open that floodgate and changing the keyword to liberal or conservative is the next step.

I think these issues must and will be addressed in the very near future. Current legal trends suggest to me that more privacy will be given up in the name of safety. I think this is wrong. As to your issue, that of turnabouts is fair play, aint gonna happen. The government will always exclude themselves from their own laws.
